Update: Kathy Sarvary won the 2013 National Championship on almost the exact same setup. Stay tuned as we bring you pictures of her bike from this year’s winning ride in the Masters Women 55-59 age group.

In Issue 13, we had Richard Fries profile Tom Steven’s multi-decade involvement in cyclocross and his impact on the Northeastern racing scene (and check out this video of Stevens racing in the mid 80s!), so it’s no surprise that one of his handmade Spin Arts caught our eye. Stevens makes each bike custom to the rider, as the rainbow flourishes on Sarvary’s bike show.

If you’re a fan of Cyclocross Magazine’s CXM Labs’ DIY tinkering, you’re going to love this bike: A long-cage Campagnolo Chorus derailleur paired to a 9-speed Dura-Ace cassette and 10 speed Chorus shifters, all without a converter, spacers, cable clamp or travel adapter in sight. A zip tie on the drive-side FS SLK crank prevents outside chain drop, and the rear brake cable hanger is built into the seatpost binder bolt fixture.

Check out the details in the gallery below, and stay tuned for more bike profiles in the coming week as we report on the 2013 National Championships!
